Abstract

Much of the current research in mobile networking investigates how to support a mobile user within an established infrastructure of routers and servers. Ad hoc networks come into play when no such established infrastructure exits. This paper presents a two-stage protocol to solve the resource discovery problem in ad hoc networks: how hosts discover what resources are available in the network and how they discover how to use the resources. This protocol does not require any established servers or other infrastructure. It only requires routing capabilities in the network.
